La Crescenta

I am from New Jersey. I moved to LA about 5 years ago to work as a freelance makeup artist in the film industry. I absolutely love dogs, but can't have one anymore due to my unconventional work schedule. I love dog sitting for my friends anytime they need my help. Any size or breed, I will treat you pup like my own. They will sniff, frolic and bask to their heart's content when they are with me!

I am an animal rights activist. I have volunteered for various non-profit organizations that help animals and I absolutely love dedicating my time and energy to animals. As a dog walker it is my priority to make sure your pup feels comfortable and knows he or she is loved. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and have a blast walking together!
